title: [Dyslalia and orofacial dysmorphism].
abstract: In the light of reported data and personal experience, relations between malocclusions and dyslalias are examined. Although the coexistence of malocclusions and dyslalia is a frequent clinical observation, correlations between the two conditions do not appear to be closely linked by any clearly identifiable cause-effect relationship. Considering the high number of aetiological factors involved, stress is laid on the need for a multidisciplinary approach to cases that present contemporaneously malocclusions and dyslalias in the interests of correct diagnosis and rational therapeutic orientation.
